This article came about by another one of our team members, Sam Moore, reflecting on getting into Kings of War less than a year ago and wishing there were more resources for new players trying to figure out the best and easiest way to get into Kings of War. While there is not a clear cut answer below or a unified list, this is intended to allow players to form their opinions based on what things they value and to help them avoid pitfalls when it comes to things that could burn a new player when starting an army for the first time. If you’re new and reading this, we hope it’s helpful and please reach out with any other questions!

Intro
Sam and I (the Sam’s Club of Ohio, if you will) both played at US Masters for Kings of War for the first time this year. We talked on the phone for a good portion of our drives home and realized we wanted to write up a reflection of our time at Masters. It’s a tournament unlike anything else we’ve gone to before. Every game is against a seasoned veteran and you’re out there fighting for your life. 6 games across 2 days is exhausting. And there’s the real stress of the weight knowing that you’re playing in the most prestigious event in the US. That said, we both had a wonderful time in game and out of game. I’m excited for us to share our experience as first time players at US Masters.
